<strong>Foams</strong> are widely used for manufacturing different interior parts of automobile offering benefits in terms of<br />

comfort <strong>and</strong> protection owing to its light weight <strong>and</strong> durability properties. One of the major applications of<br />

foams in a vehicle is the automotive seating. Flexible molded foams play an important role in the seating of<br />

automobiles <strong>and</strong> their function is to provide complete support to the occupant. Further, automotive headliners<br />

consist of a face fabric with a foam backing on it that molds to the contours of the vehicle’s roof. The panel<br />

system which uses headliner board finished with an ultra lightweight foam backed fabric has become the<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard for modern vehicles. <strong>Foams</strong> are also used for noise vibration <strong>and</strong> harshness (NVH) in a vehicle as<br />

they help to keep the noise level down in the areas where air flow is strong. Additionally, foams help to protect<br />

the automotive parts from the harshness of use, environment <strong>and</strong> roadways. Light weight plastic foams helps<br />

in adding strength to the body cavities in a vehicle <strong>and</strong> increasing occupant safety. Polyurethane is one of the<br />

majorly used automotive foams in headliners <strong>and</strong> the advantages associated with this foam include easy installation,<br />

increased fuel economy, excellent thermal <strong>and</strong> sound insulation, increased comfort, high resistance<br />

to fire <strong>and</strong> light weight properties.<br />

The global automotive foams market is being strongly driven by the swift growth of automobile production<br />

globally owing to rising disposable income <strong>and</strong> rapid urbanization in the emerging countries of China, Japan<br />

<strong>and</strong> India. Further, persistent research <strong>and</strong> development activities, resulting in technological breakthroughs<br />

in the area of cost effective processing <strong>and</strong> production has bolstered the growth of the automotive foams<br />

market globally in the last decade <strong>and</strong> is expected to continue in the coming years. However, adverse environmental<br />

effects <strong>and</strong> exposure risks, rising raw material costs <strong>and</strong> stringent government regulations associated<br />

to the detrimental effects of chloro-fluoro-carbons involved in manufacturing polymer foams are the<br />

major factors hindering the global market growth.<br />

The global automotive foams market has been segmented on the basis of type into polyurethane, polyvinyl<br />

chloride, styrenic, polyolefin, melamine <strong>and</strong> others. Polyurethane is the most widely used type of automotive<br />

foams, owing to its high durability <strong>and</strong> light weight properties. However, polyolefin foams are expected to<br />

gain popularity during the forecast period as polyolefin is a versatile material <strong>and</strong> can be distinctively used in


different applications in the automotive sector. In addition the market has been segregated in terms of<br />

applications into, seats, NVH, headliners, gaskets, door panels <strong>and</strong> others.<br />

The global market has also been segmented on the basis of vehicle type into passenger vehicles, light<br />

commercial vehicles <strong>and</strong> heavy commercial vehicles. The global automotive foams market has been further<br />

classified geographically into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America <strong>and</strong> Middle East <strong>and</strong><br />

Africa. North America <strong>and</strong> Europe are expected to hold substantial shares of the global market during the<br />

forecast period. However, Asia Pacific is projected to record the fastest growth rate from <strong>2017</strong>-<strong>2025</strong>, strongly<br />

driven by the rising dem<strong>and</strong> for passenger cars <strong>and</strong> heavy commercial vehicles. Moreover, several mergers<br />

<strong>and</strong> acquisitions, new product launches <strong>and</strong> rigorous research <strong>and</strong> development has led to the overall<br />

expansion of the automotive industry in this region, which in turn is set to fuel the growth of the automotive<br />

foams market in the coming years.<br />
